""I think it will be helpful to bring the people to come to Long Beach to have a good time and be respectful, just like in Rockaway and Jones Beach, where they have bars and restaurants on the boardwalk.""
""If they can control it and keep it within their establishments, I think that's OK.""
""There's no reason why we can't responsibly have a couple of drinks while we look at the sunset, enjoy the views.""
""Oh yeah, they are going to get drunk and go in the water, and it's going to be dangerous.""
Long Beach City Council is debating a proposal to allow boardwalk businesses to sell alcohol, which has been prohibited for over ten years. The proposal mandates that drinks be consumed on the premises and not taken to the beach or boardwalk. Supporters argue that it could attract visitors and enhance the dining experience, while opponents express concerns about safety and potential for irresponsible behavior. The council previously rejected a similar proposal in 2017 due to community opposition.
